Youde Zephyrus

[Hightech Redneck]

Anyone tried to rebuild the stock coils? Or at least vaped them? I went straight to the rebuildable section, and I love this tank, i *never* get leaks, awesome flavor....but I haven't tried the stock coils, just wondering two things: Am I missing anything? and Can they be rebuilt?

No I have not tried to rebuild the stock coils. I used the stock the day I received it as I didn't have time to figure out how to build correctly on the rba. They hit well, as with most they are stuffed with cotton. In all honesty didn't see the point in trying to rebuild the stock with the rba hitting as good as it does.

Like you I went to the rebuildable section first. Popped in the stock coil(I got a replacement pack), and i really like it. So far no leaks, no dry hits, and for me it doesnt get hot. My current setup is the zephyrus on a istick50w.

Personally I wanted this for the cost savings by using a nice deck. But that being said have you gotten decent life out of the stock coils? And are you using high vg?

After reading so many good things about the Zephyrus, I bought one. However, I'm having leaking issues. The juice leaks out of the bottom when I vape. What am I doing wrong?

Stock or rba? What's your pg/vg ratio?

 

[noel18]

RBA. 30PG/70VG. I'm guessing that I'm not wicking properly.

 

[Hightech Redneck]

With this one wicking has to be just right, if you haven't check out the video I posted on page one here. I followed his technique and it's been good. I use Japanese cotton so can't tell you about wicking with regular cotton. Personally I have found the cotton needs to be fairly tight and a small portion in the channels. Several mentioned loose cotton leaked and my recent experience with no tail in the channel leaked. Hope this helps

 

[noel18]

Thanks Hightech. I'll check out the video and rewick per your instructions. I know currently that my wick is not extending into the juice channel. Thanks again.

I got my Zephyrus in Monday and just vaped on the stock coil. Come Wednesday, after 4 failed attempts at triple twisted dual coils I went with 26ga 7 wraps @ 2.5mm and wicked it with this video:


The flavor and vapor production exceed that of the stock coil and I have had no runs, drips or leaks. This definitely relegates my Kayfuns, Orchids and Goblins to the ubiquitous dust collection pile, now if my Cthulhus would just get here.

That video was removed, was it similar to the way tvc did it in the video I posted?

Not sure. What page did you post that video on?

It was titled "the quick and easiest way to wick the Zephyrus" he basically cut the wick like you would for a Goblin and placed the barrel loosely on the deck while tucking any stray cotton back up into the juice channels.

Edit: Just watched the TVC video and they cut the wicks the same, but that's the only similarity. The video I posted was all of 3 and a half minutes, with 2 minutes of him just chucking clouds

 

[Hightech Redneck]

Hmm long then tucking back in, haven't tried that. That video is on page one near the bottom. He wicks it with a tail in the channels, I've been paranoid to have too much in the channels.

 

[Dryadsoul]

Not long. If you go to this Trevor Jones video you'll see the needed cotton length @ 32:22.
And don't juice the coil til you've tightened the barrel down.

 

[Hightech Redneck]

I see what you mean. I do Alot like your video as far as cleaning up the cotton etc... I use a large paper clip though cause I can bend it easily to see in that lovely tight deck lol. And yes I think the tvc video does slightly over juice so it doesn't wick immediately. Thanks for the extra insight.

 

[nkr501]

I always juice mine before I shove it into the channels. No leaks and I have only had a dry hit once when I used too much cotton. This deck is super tight, but really solid in my opinion. Don't have to make a perfect pancake like the subtank and don't get me started on my previously destroyed Lemo 2.

So I have a nice build now. No leaking but Im getting a slight rubbery taste. I cleaned the device twice thoroughly before use.. Has anyone else noticed this

No odd taste here, what are you building with? Kanthal ... cotton etc... and is it a new juice?

 

[noel18]

You got it. Kanthal and ... cotton. Same juice I've used before.
